We took the day off from sight-seeing to lay low at the Ahola Sunset. Michael worked on his film. I worked on my tan. Please enjoy a mini-instgram luau, until tomorrow. Mahalo!

We don’t miss you at all, Reality.Waimea Canyon on the west side of the island. Red rocks as far as the eye can see.While I’m napping in the sun, Michael sneaks out and leaves freshly squeezed grapefruit juice next to me. He’s like my own private little hula elf!My read for the trip. I don’t know why I thought I’d get through 1900 pages. I haven’t even hit 200 yet.I have now sucked down jars of Nutella in a total of two states!Spiny-backed orb weaver caught at Kauai’s Hindu MonasteryWe took the dive at Ho’opi’i Falls. Country boy Michael had no problem diving into a pool in the middle of the sticks. City-boy Green needed a few steep inhales first, but finally made the plunge.

That's when I started this blog. My goals were to record my progress, and to meet other people who like spinning a knife around in the kitchen.

You can read that very first post from 2009 right here. The photo of the chicken in the pan is still a favorite.

I also like to paint, the results of which you'll also see here.

I read, travel, paddle through life with my significant other, and anxiously await the need next expressed by MysteryCat. I'll need to take care of that immediately.

I used to drink alcohol. I don't anymore, but the drinks I loved when I did, and how to make them, are here. My favorite drink was a vodka martini, and I made a mean one. I "brain grenaded" many friends at dinner parties.
